From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 91 kt with 3.3° of pitch.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 90 ft below the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Slow from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm (up to −16 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down.

The crosswind

Wind 350° at 12 kt · 9 kt head · 8 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 27 ft, 23 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,400 ft in, 400 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The aircraft, a Velocity XL, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 91 kt, covering a distance of 803 ft, which was 16% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 63 °F and a wind speed of 12 kt from a direction of 350 °, resulting in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 9 kt.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,325 ft above sea level to 2,352 ft above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by an enroute descent, which began 1 mile north of the airport. The descent was also steep, with the aircraft dropping from 2,381 ft above sea level to 1,106 ft above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.

After the descent, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Cumberland Hill. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm. The final approach to runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 36.0 ° at an altitude of 232 ft above ground level and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 59 kt and a distance of 1,395 ft. The touchdown rate was also good, at -176 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 63 °F and a wind speed of 12 kt from a direction of 350 °, resulting in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 9 kt.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nm and lasted for 5 minutes, using 6 lbs of fuel. The flight was characterized by a series of smooth and controlled maneuvers, with the aircraft responding well to the pilot's inputs. The landing was particularly impressive, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and aligning perfectly with the runway.
